Barcelona president JoanLaporta intensified his criticism of Real Madrid during the management dinner preceding the match against Betis in Cartuja. On that occasion, Laporta expressed his frustration with the recent statements of JavierTebas, president of La Liga, which according to the Blaugrana president have fueled tensions with the blanco club.
Laporta accused Real Madrid of creating a climate of conflict with Spain's football institutions, claiming the club "wants to destroy everything". He underlined that Tebas, with its experience, is able to counter such behavior and protect the reputation of La Liga. “Real Madrid is not happy with anyone and seems to want to destroy everything,” he said, adding that the club is attacking not only La Liga but also the Referee Committee and the Federation, looking for excuses not to accept the situation which, according to Laporta, is the result of its own decisions.
The Blaugrana president stated that his main concern concerns Barcelona, believing that Real Madrid's actions are acceptable as long as they do not threaten his team. He also criticized the Madrid club's search for excuses, calling it a strategy to "break everything they can".
This statement comes at a time of growing rivalry between the two clubs, with both sides feeling under pressure from the footballing institutions. As Barcelona prepares for the match against Betis, Real Madrid faces criticism from Tebas and growing tension with La Liga. The situation remains delicate, with the future of relations between the two clubs and the football authorities still uncertain.
